Hi, I successfully built gcc 4.1.1 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (kernel version 2.6.9-5.EL), and then successfully compiled the Linux kernel 2.6.18 using that.
Config.guess: i686-pc-linux-gnu Version (gcc -version): Using built-in specs. Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc4 --enable-languages=c Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.1 Languages: C alone Linux distribution (from /etc/issue): Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant) Kernel version on which gcc was compiled: 2.6.9-5.EL Version of glibc (from 'rpm -q glibc'): glibc-2.3.4-2 Version of ld: 2.15.92.0.2 Version of old gcc used for compiling the new gcc: 3.4.3 I also built the Linux kernel 2.6.18.1 using this version of gcc. Thanks for your contributions. Cheers, N. S. Sundar (408-434-6064 x247; INP, Emulex) I am always ardently against all awkward, affected and artificial alliteration.
